Recommendation 7

The obligation to read legislation compatibly with Convention rights under section 3 HRA is crucial to the legal protection of human rights in the UK. We have previously recommended against the repeal of section 3 HRA and we are equally unconvinced and troubled by its piecemeal disapplication, including under clause 1(5) of this Bill. We are concerned that, by denying those affected by this Bill access to part of the human rights protective framework, clause 1(5) runs counter to the principle that those rights are universal. It also gives rise to concerns in respect of the prohibition on discrimination under Article 14 ECHR. The Bill should be amended to remove the disapplication of section 3 HRA (see Annex, Amendment 1). (Paragraph 90) The duty to make arrangements to remove people from the UK
